Greetings,
I recently made decision to build a new gaming focused rig utilizing the i5 11600k and Asus TUF z590 plus no wifi. However, I'm at a loss when it comes to PSU wattage and cooling requirements. I dont make upgrades very often and prefer to stay with good system until the wheels literally fall off.
Approximate Purchase Date: asap
Budget Range: reasonable. not trying to live on ramen noodles
System Usage from Most to Least Important:Gaming, that's all folks.
Are you buying a monitor: Not at this time, fine with my trusty 1080p
Parts to Upgrade: Everything, CPU MOBO GPU PSU COOLING. I have already purchased 15 11006k and asus tuf z590 mobo. Considering GPU's are out of stock and selling at astronomical prices i may hold off on this piece only. SIGH
Do you need to buy OS: probably
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:New Egg seems to be go to site with Amazon second
Location: USA CA
Parts Preferences: none, just what works best, loud and fast
Overclocking: YES, well a slight overclock to get 4.0ghz range
SLI or Crossfire: NO
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920X1080
Additional Comments: I don't care about noise, would like matching part brands if able,
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My rig finally took a crap on me. I was getting by with I5 3570k, and till recently dead gtx 680. End of an era.
